Costs around Au$250 which I think is around £100 sterling. Looks very good from the spec sheet. Wonder if anyone has any experience with it? Kev

Wow... that is one rockin' card if it worked with GB-PVR. Quad tuners would be sweet! Too bad it is for AU only...
 A Google search on them doesn't seem to turn up much either. Then again, I don't have digital cable (to the PVR anyway) so it doesn't look like I could use it even if there was a US version.

I emailed the company and they say all of thier products work fine in the UK at least.
4 tuners on one board saves a lot of slots in a pc and might simplify getting it all to work. Apparently dvbviewer works fine with it. Kev

Haven't posted anywhere else. Did think about posting on the mediaportal site but in the past I've found that site un-helpful.
I'm thinking of upgrading anyway. The newer ATI PCI-E cards have hardware mpeg decode but my hardware is currently old type PCI slots only. Typically newer PCI-E boards have fewer slots so a single slot 4 tuner solution works for me. I'm thinking of getting a core duo type board. I suspect that would have enough grunt and would be cooler. I currently have a p4 solution but it is occasionally prone to stuttering so offloading mpeg decode to the GPU seems ideal. Trouble with all this stuff - unless you know someone who has one working you can never be sure it will work ok. I have 3 dvb tuner cards that have been less than useful. Kev

Wow is right.
 This is a great card for the money! Compact also which suits a HTPC. Pity I already have the $$ invested in tuners....although....

That is a nice card. I wonder which PCI-e speed it actually uses... 1x, 2x, 4x...

Nice - DVB-C & DVB-T would be nice but tbh are you limited to one type ie 2 x sat or 2 x DTT ? ( Did you follow that ? )
